Introduction.

I went into the Kagoshima Navy Flight Corps on August 1, 1943.
Here, basic training as a flight soldier was received.

          Basic training.

We moved to the Yatabe Navy Flight Corps on March 25, 1944. 
Here, we received flight training using the middle training airplane.

         The middle training plane model 93.

We are transferred to Hiyakurihara Navy Flight Corps on July 29, 1944.
Here, we received flight training of a torpedo attack and bombing using 
the attack plane. 

           The attack plane model 97 type 1.

We ended all training on December 25, 1944. 
I was assigned to the 903rd Navy Flight Corps. The 903rd  Navy Flight 
Corps's duty was to search and attack submarines. We guarded transport 
ships. I worked as an operation member of an attack plane. 

            The attack plane model Tenzan type 12.

I was transferred to the Ooi Navy Flight Corps from the 903rd Navy Flight  
Corps. in March, 1945.
The Ooi Navy Flight Corps was a training Flight Corps. Therefore, I was
chosen as the instructor and started for its new assignment. 
Here, the training airplane was loaded with the bomb and we were given
training in combat collision tactics.

           The training plane model Siragiku.
 
Since this airplane had a relatively slow speed, daytime attacks were
difficult. Therefore, we were given training in night attacks.
The Tokushima Navy Flight Corps and the Kochi Navy Flight Corps carried 
out attacks in Okinawa with the some training airplane. However, before 
I saw any combat the war ended. Our class had a 30% mortality rate. 

I published several books about Kamikazes.

My purpose in writing those books is to provide some unique insights 
into the Kamikaze mystic and history to make them available to the rest 
of the world. Those fact-based books are the result of my first hand war 
experiences along with interviews of families of many Kamikaze pilots.

These were summarized and the home page was opened in May, 2001. 
It is the top's "Wings disappeared to a blue sky".
 
I would like to translate these words into English and make them 
available on the web site soon.
